| AM- 56º, 4:45am - incredibly good conditions. I have not been happy with my long runs recently and after taking a few days off at the beginning of this week I had a decent Wednesday and happy with todays long run. I have learned heat and/or the sun takes a lot out of me - none of that today :)
2 Mile w/u- then 18 (MP goal 7:40) - 7:28, 7:29, 7:29, 7:39, 7:39, 7:46, 7:31, 7:32, 7:36, 7:41, 7:39, 7:24, 7:22, 7:46, 7:37, 7:37, 7:33, 6:41 - I wanted to see what I had left for mile 20, so I am pleased with some ChuckRoastish.
Off to the Fair at New Boston! Good times and food await!

| AM- 72º and sticky. I either have the worst allergies in 10 years or I have a sinus cold out of the blue. Ran with a cough drop. Marathon in 10 days, taper mode here- now to make sure I am healthy race day. It's just odd, I never get sick while training. After a marathon sure, I am not sure what hit me, but I feel terrible. I think my nose is running faster than me.

| AM- 71º/100% Humidity... Went to the docs yesterday. I figured I was too close race day to take any chances. Glad I went, but I had the trifecta of issues. Bacterial infection, viral infection and allergies. Awesome. However, doc was confident he would have me ready for race day. Lots of meds.
6 easy, yet not easy. Wet.

| Just a tune up for next week. Marathon is 7 days. Still not feeling well, but the meds are definitely working. What a different a week makes in conditions though. Last week, ideal conditions, STRONG run. And while today I just wanted a few fast miles to keep my legs honest a 20 degree hike in temps made that a chore. 74º/88%/70 4 Easy, 4 HMP/10K pace, 4 Easy. A coughing fit at the end of mile 7 made mile 8 and 9 more difficult that it should have been. At the end though it seemed like a short run. I think that is a good sign. Next weeks forecast is not promising, but things can change rapidly.

| 58º Teeth hurting from the sinus infection. Progessively faster without effort. Got my first Alert email from the marathon. Potentially dangerous heat/humidity levels for the race. Sigh. Oh well, its the 20th aniversary, I can run for fun if needed.

| Up early, oatmeal on and drugged up. Wasn't feeling the best, but I was confident if the meds did their job I could do mine. They pushed the start back to 8am due to some lighting -however most of the runners were not happy with this since that lightening was at 5am. It was about 72º and very humid. Race started and mile 1 went off without a hitch. Pace was fine breathing slightly labored, but nothing I couldn't handle. By mile 3 I was having huge issues breathing and trying to figure out how to fight through it. By mile 7 I was toast. Vomiting, nose, lungs all fighting against me. Holding a pace was not in the cards and honestly I was just too dizzy so I just stopped in the medical tent. I have never not finished a race so there is a 1st time for that. I will look at the bright side and know I will have a fast recovery. I also in a weird way thankful this was at mile 9 and not 19. At 19 I know I would have pushed on and that could have been worse overall for me. Another day perhaps... now to get well.

| AM- 53º OH YES. So much better. Still not 100%, but I think my strength is coming back. Progressive run 7:38, 7:32, 7:26, 7:20, 6:49
There is an new marathon Saturday. I wonder if I still have enough fitness to run it strong. I know I could finish, but I'd like to race it, I just wonder if I lost too much fitness these past 3 weeks.
